Tony Marullo's invitation to three girls to go 
joy riding in his auto at the Fair Grounds Sunday
night led to a fight with Salvador Corso, his 
arraignment in the Second City Criminal Court 
Monday morning and the probability of white 
slavery charges being placed against him. 
Marullo is an ex-policeman, and lives at 1406 
Howard Street.

Corso was standing near when he heard Marullo 
ask Annie, 18, and Celina, 14, his daughters,

the fight by striking him with his fist.

pleasure riding, as one of the concessions, 
and denies having annoyed the girls. He asked
